1 OVERDOSE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Fact Sheet Background The number of opioid-related overdose deaths in the United States continues to increase. In 2015 alone, over 52,000 Americans died of drug overdose, an average of nearly 150 every day. 1 Most of these deaths are due in whole or part to opioids, both prescription painkillers and illicit drugs like heroin. Recently, powerful synthetic versions of the drug fentanyl have begun to infiltrate the illicit drug market, driving a significant increase in overdose deaths. 2 Unfortunately, both variations among jurisdictions in determining and causes of death and delays in obtaining and fatality data often result in an incomplete and out-of-date view into this rapidly evolving epidemic. Particularly as powerful synthetic opioids increasingly populate the illicit drug supply, it is imperative that health departments and other relevant actors are provided with accurate, timely and actionable information on drug-related overdose. To help achieve this goal, five states (Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Texas) now require health care practitioners to report overdose cases in a timely manner to the state health department or other governmental agency. Additionally, Wisconsin requires law enforcement officials to report overdoses to the state prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) and West Virginia requires medical professionals to do the same. Florida permits emergency medical services to report overdoses to the state health department. Further, two counties in Washington have made overdose reportable to the local health department. Legislation has been introduced in several other states that would permit or require overdoses to be reported. However, most states have not changed law or policy to require timely of non-fatal overdose. Because all states have a system by which certain diseases and conditions are required to be reported to the state health department, typically within a relatively short period of time, adding non-fatal overdose to the list of reportable conditions may be an effective and cost-effective way of improving access to this important data. In most states, legislation provides the state health department or similar agency with broad authority to modify the list of reportable diseases or conditions, often through sub-regulatory means. 3 Other mechanisms, such as EMS data collection and systems, may also be useful in providing data that may be used to identify changes in overdose frequency and type, which may permit health departments and other entities to more effectively target interventions. The tables below provide a snapshot of current and proposed laws, regulations, and sub-regulatory sources governing mandatory disease and a description of the laws and regulations governing of overdoses in the jurisdictions that require or explicitly permit it. Table 1 presents the results of a 50 state survey of required overdose by health care providers, including links to relevant law and regulation. Table 2 provides information on the jurisdictions that require or explicitly permit overdose to be reported, and Table 3 provides information on states with Updated May 15, 2017
2 pending legislation. In light of the rapidly evolving epidemic, other states may wish to modify legislation, regulation, or policy to improve timely access to actionable data on overdose, particularly non-fatal overdose.
